Russia begins air strikes in Syria

Russia launched air strikes against targets in Syria on Wednesday in the Kremlin's biggest intervention in the Middle East in decades, telling the U.S. air force to steer clear while its warplanes are in action. A U.S. official says targets in the Homs area appear to have been struck.

Russian defense ministry releases a video which it says shows air strikes by Russian military jets hitting targets inside Syria.
